Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1580 A Ghost Queen?
Han Li's car was spotted by Wen Bixia before it even reached the hotel entrance. She waved and ran to the parking space she had been occupying.

"Brother Han, over here, over here."

As Han Li parked his car, the woman who had been talking to Wen Bixia earlier walked over very naturally, without showing any embarrassment whatsoever.

As Han Li parked his car, his gaze swept over the woman. Her clothes and demeanor exuded an air of vulgarity and sophistication.
At this moment, Han Li only felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

However, looking at the other person's worldly appearance, Han Li wondered if he had picked up the other person at that nightclub in Hong Kong, while slowly parking the car.

Han Li had just parked the car when Wen Bixia ran back with a big smile, opened the car door, and said...

"Brother Han."

Han Li responded as he got out of the car, closed the door, reached out and rubbed Wen Bixia's head before walking into the restaurant.

At this moment, a woman with a dusty appearance and a cigarette in her hand walked over. Wen Bixia reached out and grabbed the woman's arm.

"Brother Han, she is Wang Xiaofeng, my neighbor in Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng."

When Wen Bixia revealed the other person's name and background, Han Li paused slightly, greeting her while inviting everyone into the restaurant to chat.

At first, Han Li didn't notice, but now that he looked closely, if this woman were to remove her worldly air, she really would be the "Ghost Queen" Wang Xiaofeng.

Han Li only knew that this Ghost Queen had a miserable childhood, but he didn't know the specifics, including why she looked so worldly now.

However, this is not the place to talk, and Han Li will not take the initiative to ask about these things. Even if the other party does not say it, Wen Bixia will tell everything in private.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked upstairs to a private room. Han Li kept secretly observing the Ghost Queen Wang Xiaofeng along the way.

If she were to change into a bright red wedding dress, with a slightly melancholic look in her eyes, holding a folding fan, sitting on the back of a bicycle, weaving through the dark mountain forest, that would be just perfect.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the private room that Wen Bixia had reserved. Han Li was the host, with Wen Bixia and Wang Xiaofeng as his assistants. The three of them ordered a table full of dishes and some frozen beer.

After the waiter who took the order left, Wen Bixia, who was sitting next to Han Li, began to introduce Wang Xiaofeng's situation.

Before the waiter could say anything else, they brought over the beer. They had only mentioned that they were both from the vicinity of Tiu Keng Leng in Tseung Kwan O, and that the other person was three years older than her but less than four.

Perhaps Wang Xiaofeng didn't want to talk about her past, or perhaps there were other reasons.

In short, after the waiter put down the beer, Wang Xiaofeng took it, opened it, filled everyone's glasses, and then raised her glass with the air of a socialite.

"Brother Han, I've often heard Xiaoyu mention you, saying that she owes her success to your help. Today is our first meeting, let's have a drink together."

Wen Bixia's original name was Wen Biyu, and Wang Xiaofeng's name is Xiaoyu, which makes sense.

After listening to Wang Xiaofeng's words, Han Li picked up his wine glass, clinked it with the two women's glasses, and drank. Thus, the drinking party officially began.

At first, everyone just drank and talked about gossip and news from the market.

However, when it comes to beer, once you drink a certain amount, even if you're not drunk, you'll inevitably have to go to the toilet frequently.

Once, when Wang Xiaofeng went to the restroom, Wen Bixia hugged Han Li's arm and began to talk about him.

Wen Bixia only knew about Wang Xiaofeng before, because the two were a few years apart in age and had no real relationship. However, some of Wang Xiaofeng's actions could be seen as a guiding light for Wen Bixia to dare to rebel against her parents and break away from her family.

All of this is because they all live near Tiu Keng Leng in Tseung Kwan O. Tiu Keng Leng was originally called "Hanging Neck Ridge," and it has been a very eerie place for decades.

Those families of similar means would try every means to leave that place, and those who remained were mostly dirt poor, with really no one worth avoiding.

The more concentrated the poor are in a place, the more serious the preference for sons over daughters becomes. Coincidentally, both Wen Bixia and Wang Xiaofeng have such parents.

However, Wang Xiaofeng was a bit older, and life was much harder back then. Her parents' preference for sons over daughters was also more pronounced.

They say that daughters will get married sooner or later, and once married, they are like water spilled from a cup—a financial loss. The greatest favor they can do is to provide them with food and raise them to adulthood.

Furthermore, because Wang Xiaofeng was the youngest child in the family, she not only had to endure her parents' cold looks and beatings, but she was also the punching bag for her older brothers and sisters.

In short, everyone in Wang Xiaofeng's family could vent their frustrations on her.

This tragic life almost led Wang Xiaofeng to become a part of the "Hanging Neck Ridge" legend when she was six years old, contributing to the local infamous reputation.

Wang Xiaofeng's suicide by hanging did not change her parents' attitude, nor did it save her from being beaten and vented on by her older brother and sister.

In the days that followed, Wang Xiaofeng tried several more ways to commit suicide, but none of them succeeded.

In this situation, Wang Xiaofeng could only accept her fate and continue living a life at home where everyone could hit and scold her.

When Wang Xiaofeng was fourteen years old, she snapped when her brother beat her again for no reason.

Due to the physical differences between men and women and the age gap, Wang Xiaofeng was no match for her brother. In the struggle, she pushed her brother down, scraping his arm badly.

When Wang Xiaofeng's parents found out, they immediately gave her a beating from both sides.

Wang Xiaofeng, who was not convinced, retorted a few times, but was then kicked out of the house by her parents and left to fend for herself.

In order to survive, 14-year-old Wang Xiaofeng had no choice but to find work in restaurants that provided meals and accommodation.

This kind of job pays very little, and the tasks are mostly washing vegetables, washing dishes, serving food, and cleaning. You have to get up very early and work until very late every day.

But no matter what, Wang Xiaofeng survived after being kicked out of her home by her parents.

Because Wang Xiaofeng was too young at the time, when she was too tired from working, there was only one belief that kept her going.

That means she'll save up some money and go back to show her parents that the girl they initially thought was a money-loser can now earn money and support the family, thus changing her situation of being disliked and bullied at home.

However, Wang Xiaofeng did this odd job for very long, because she was soon noticed by a few short, thugs from a triad gang.

These short, stocky men tricked Wang Xiaofeng into going to the dance hall with sweet talk and handed her over to their eldest sister.

Wang Xiaofeng was young and unaware of the situation. In addition, the work of a dancer was much easier than washing vegetables, washing dishes, or serving food, and the pay was also higher.

From that day on, Wang Xiaofeng became a dancer.

The matter didn't end there, and it didn't change Wang Xiaofeng's own situation either.
